Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description

25 sq.mi., 631.13' above sea level, 2.8 mi. upstream of mouth.

Lake Michigan mean elevation is 580', thus ~51' total drop to lake from gauge, for 18 FPM gradient.

Unfortunately, 12-15' of that is backed up by the unrunnable Mill Dam, leaving maybe 13 FPM as the effective gradient.
